Knights of Morkin,
I am proud to announce a "war game" has commenced. This is a carefully crafted simulation, designed to allow KoM to demonstrate it's tactical prowess.
BACKGROUND:
The Evil Clausewitz has just stolen an island from CaptainCadaver. Clausewitz's main is located at 14:20:18. It has been decided that KoM is going to destroy the island as a show-of-force. When CaptainCadaver asked why Evil Clausewitz stole the island, he received the following IGM,
CaptainCadaver
1 hour ago
re: Why did you take my island?
KoM sucks!
Signed,
Evil Clausewitz
THE TASK:
Strike 14:20:18 from 4 different players, with 4 different fleets. A clearing-fleet, cat-fleet, sweeper-fleet, and colonization-fleet.
THE DETAILS:
For purposes of this simulation, a "clearing fleet" shall be designated as 1 LWS with 1 stonethrower set to "transport". A "cat fleet" shall be designated as 1 empty SMS set to "transport". A "sweeper fleet" shall be designated as 1 SWS with 1 stonethrower set to "transport". A "colonization fleet" shall be designated as 1 empty LMS set to "transport".
THE OBJECTIVE:
Each fleet should be sent from a different KoM player. The timing is crucial. The closer the four fleets are timed to land, the better.
[KoM] will be divided into teams as follows:
Team Alpha

Cait_Sith 9777 Member
Calamity77 3460 Member
CaptianCadaver 18688 Member
Team Bravo
Catcher 84783 Member
conkeror 6367 Member

Team Charlie

Each team is in competition against one another. Attack may commence launching at 0001 GMT on Sunday, September 16th, 2007. TheNoob and williham can be recruited by any team.
Teams will be scored based on how quickly their attacks arrive. No player from any team may send more than 1 of the required 4 attacks. Team score will be derived based on how quickly the 4 attacks arrive, combined with how closely and precisely-sequenced the attacks are.
An award of 2 catapults per player to the winning team shall be distributed upon completion of this war game.
I leave you now to contact your teammates, and coordinate/conduct your operations.
GOOD LUCK!
EDIT: Any questions? Feel free to ask. What is a sweeper-fleet? Just a term I've coined for sending in a fleet between the cat fleet and colonization fleet to mop-up any fleetsaves or stoner drops that may intend to knock out your coloship. A tactic I often use (with good results) in war.
